This bean bag is perfect to be put in the living room, which I used it to watch TV, and rest when the program is boring. It is also good for kids at different ages. It is just so versatile that make this totally worth it. I washed the cover and it didn't shrink.  After used it for a year, I notice it becomes a bit loose, the support is less now but still very good. I might consider buying the refill later.
